Nope. I actually did that unintentionally on a PC I built. I only used one power wire when the GPU needed 2 so it couldn't use all the power it needed when running 100%. My understanding was PCI doesn't support disconnecting devices so the system expects all components it starts up with to be available all the time. Lose one and the system goes down.

Google doesn't care what end users scream about (such as YouTube ads) but I have a feeling some lawyers had an emergency meeting to explain why this was a crap idea.
I feel like this change is here to stay for a while.
Yeah they blocked it a few months ago. I don't remember the specifics, but it seemed like a new mod/admin came into play and didn't get the memo about Lemmy and trying to be more transparent and engaged with communities. Just poof
Haha! Darn autocorrect. Thanks for catching that.
Oh, I'm pretty sure we passed scientist a few turns back and wound up straight in exorcist territory.
Me too. Are those left feet or right?
Also, bones? Some maybe.
"Oh no, those poor ticket buyers. How can we make this right?"
A fit of laughter washed over the C-level executive suite as hardened stoic expressions melt under the absurdity of the line.
For the Ticketmaster empire has fulfilled its purpose once again; to draw out the anger, to be the hated, to consume and regurgitate the evils and greeds of the land.
Lunch is delivered, and that was the last thought on the matter for the day. Talk of vacation homes and weekend yacht excursions permiate the walls; yellowed ever so slightly over the decades.
The delivery driver sulks away, untipped, from the lions den as their phone buzzes with a new notification.

"Oh, shit. What this time?"
You have to register an account with the 3rd party service ID.me that uses biometrics like facial recognition. Their privacy policy is horrendous.
The only reason I haven't used it this year.
Hmmmm. We've had single click LAMP installs way back in the early 00's. Heck, web servers were a single check box in OSX. It's just gotten really complicated since then.
Data centers work great because tech and staff work together in proximity to keep things smooth. To decentralized a data center ...
I'd start with a VPN; without which, you'd have too many unknowns. I'd have local user space (probably a VM or docker environment) linked to a remote auto-magically configured proxy server and network infrastructure. (A lot of people do this anyway with wire guard or the like) Complete automation is the key here.
Users would install apps from docker (preconfigured) and the environment automatically establishes the VPN and sends port data and settings to the proxy service. DNS/fail2ban/security is set up, and goes live in a minute or two. Of course that wouldn't work for things like Pihole or adguard.
User is responsible for disk/CPU, service provider for networking, well except ISP stuff. But anything average-user-easy will have to be mostly prepackaged for ease of use.
Oh, and if there are things that go wrong, clear explanations are essential. Things like "could not bind 0.0.0.0:80" could be "Hey dimwit, you already used port 80 for XXXX program. Pick something else!"
Or, you know, a script could do that.
I don't think self hosting is average person territory at all.
I noticed 2 services out of dozens weren't working last week and restarted their docker containers when I got home. Working again! Easy.
Nope. They only work on local LAN. Turns out IPv6 wasn't working so I had a heck of a time tracking that down.
Home assistant kept giving me errors about my reverse proxy not being trusted, but all the settings were correct. Tried adding IPv6 addresses too, but never got that working. The only thing that worked was change the network interface from Ethernet to wireless.
There are a LOT of gremlins in selfhosting. It's a fun hobby and rewarding, but definitely not for everyone.
In my experience, noooooo.
I've had too many momentary disconnects with USB devices to trust that on a 24/7 server.
An early server I built had a large USB backup drive for a RAID5 array and every month there was usually something that went wrong.
Oh nice! I knew hot swapping was supported on many other devices but not PCIe itself. Feels wrong to rip a card out while the system is powered up.
